PowerScheduler++ test versions (3 Viewers)

Michael,
I am not sure if this has been raised before, so sorry if it has.
Basically, I was wondering if you had any thoughts about releasing Powerscheduler++ as a plugin in its own right (rather than as an"upgrade" to the basic Powerscheduler supplied with MP). The reason I ask, is that I much prefer to use Powerscheduler++ because of the improved functions, but everytime I upgrade MP it overwrites Powerscheduler++ with the basic Powerscheduler files and I have to reinstall Powerscheduler++ again.
The other option would be to try to get Powerscheduler++ supplied with the MP deploy tool instead of the current basic Powerscheduler, but I suspect you might have trouble with that (and it would also slow down your development cycle of PS++).
Thanks
Rob

I already thought of this, but there are some reasons that prevent it: If I would release it as a "regular" plugin, PowerScheduler++ would run in parallel to the original PowerScheduler, which would lead to unpredictable standby / wakeup behaviour. Moreover I do not know how to implement this, because the PowerScheduler(++) plugin class implements some public interfaces (e.g. IPowerScheduler, IPowerSettings) that are used by the MP core / TV service and by other plugins and that should (can?) exist only once. I could imagine that there is a way to solve this problem, but I do not know it and therefore will stick to the "replacement" approach.
This would mean to provide a complete MP installation package that comes with PS++ instead of PS. Since you benefit from this only when a new MP version is released (which happens not too often) and there is no advantage when a PS++ update is issued, I will stick to the plugin distribution for the time being. But maybe I will provide a full MP / PS++ installation package when MP 1.3 (final) is out...

I have also had a few glitches with reboot (and other things not related to PS++) and now I have simply scheduled a daily task directly under Windows which just runs a BAT file with the single DOS instruction "shutdown -r". It's a bit of a cop-out but things are now more stable.
Something very peculiar goiing on here. My display just shut off whilst I was watching something (sound continued). I checked the logs and PS++ was preventing standby, so I checked the Power Options and they'd changed themselves again to Display off after 20 minutes, Sleep never, require password on wakeup!

I do not believe that these effects result from PS++, because PS++ does not use or alter the "display off" setting at all. Do you have another "power" tool installed? And did you realize that your antivirus software found some infected files? Maybe this leads you to the solution of your problems...

Could you explain what "glitches" you had with PS++ reboot? I would like to know these to fix the problems for future versions.
Michael
Sorry for not being specific enough. The glitch I have had recently with PS++ was failure to carry out a scheduled reboot. It seems erratic and it is possible that the system may have malfunctioned for other reasons. Additionally I have been occasionally having "TV Service disconnected". I think the Sky Grabber could be a factor here. The Windows reboot just gives a "clean sheet" for the day. I have been remiss in not logging these problems properly and will try to provide better details if it occurs again. Thanks.
I think you're right, it just took me by surprise again! I've enabled Comodo Defense+ now (I normally only use the Firewall) which should alert me next time whatever program tries to change the settings. I think most of the "infected" files were false-flags and were part of safe packages like LiveXP and other alerts pertain to programs I downloaded but never ran, so I don't think I've got a virus, but I will do a in-depth scan sometime.
Hi there,
Apologises for no logs...hopefully they will follow tomorrow.
The problem I am having is that I have a client running 1.2.2 SVN release (Miroslav's Sky version), with IRSS, and the latest PS++ - IRSS is not detecting a resume from standby.
Previously with Mepo 1.2.1, IRSS and 1.2.2.1 everything worked ok - IRSS detected a resume and ran a macro.
The problem I have, is that I'm not sure if the problem is MePo 1.2.2 or PS++.
Does PS++ rely on MePo to send it a resume message/trigger? Or Does PS++ query the OS? Then I'm not sure how IRSS detects a resume??
Over the next few days, I will try and downgrade PS++ to see if that solves it.
Many thanks,
J.
